I would say rear gunner in a Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber was up there.
Are there many vacancies at present?

I would say rear gunner in a Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber was up there.

My Dad was an armourer in WW2 - working on bombers

when the plane came back from a mission the first thing was to get all the living crew off

after that everyone stayed away from the plane until the armourers had been on and removed anything that might go bang

In other words any dead crew were still on board

apparently sometime the rear gunners pretty much had to be removed with a hosepipe

being first on to see and have to sort that out seemed a bad part of the job
